The reason I left /home itself plain, when I leave, I lock the encrypted |
| 19 |
parts. I need the rest of /home plain so I can leave downloads and such |
| 20 |
running. If all of /home was encrypted, then I'd have to stop my |
| 21 |
downloads or just store them elsewhere. The things I want to keep |
| 22 |
secure, they are in the encrypted parts. |

I don't keep a lot of cruft around. The only exception, I need to clean |
| 25 |
out bookmarks in Seamonkey. I have a tool that helps in Firefox but |
| 26 |
sadly, Seamonkey has few working addon type tools anymore. Other than |
| 27 |
email, I'd like to switch to something else. Wouldn't mind switching |
| 28 |
anyway but I just don't like the options. |
